i was delighted to see this new easter range begin to appear in marks and spencers and recognised at once it was by the super talented jane ormes who features in the book print & pattern 2. well done to marks & spencer's i say for consistently working with great designers such as jane, sanna annukka and sandra isaksson, instead of just using 'in house' designers to create a watered down version of their styles. i love M&S for this and look forward to seeing who they commission next. more on these gorgeous easter designs as they arrive in stores over the next month or so. 
jane's beautiful also bunny features (below) on the back of print & pattern book 2.

I love Jane's work! Fabulous!!
I have a postcard of one of Janes leaping rabbits, similar to the bottom image, and it never fails to cheer me up whenever I look at it :-)
LOVE this range! What a fresh approach to Easter imagery - kudos to M&S for hiring a talented designer and letting her do what she does.
Quite offensive to belittle "in house" designers and imply they only rip off other designers.
anon,
i defintely dont mean to belittle the 'in house' designer. i was one myself for many years. they are fantastic at their own work and at making purchased in artwork look awesome. the main point i tried to make is that it is nice that M&S will commission a designer who appeals to them. in house designers dont want to rip off other designers - but if they do it will most likely be because they have been told to by management who would rather copy a style than commission the originator. i was celebrating the fact that this is clearly not the case at M&S.
in house designers are the salt of the earth - talented and incredibly versatile.
